218 Vassar Avenue, Swarthmore, PA 19081

Property Description

Delightfully unexpected! Hidden behind this classic brick Colonial is a deep, level back yard that brings light, space, and quiet sanctuary to 218 Vassar. The covered front Entry with a double bench opens to a charming Foyer with turned staircase, coat closet, Powder Room, and Living Room + Kitchen access. The Living Room spans the length of the house, allowing for multiple staging areas. And its wood burning fireplace and bookcases at either end center the room. French doors at the back of the Living Room open to a flagstone Patio. The Dining Room, with hutch, chair rail and bay window, boasts access to the Patio as well. Tucked behind the staircase wall, the Dining Room is open to the Living Room and Kitchen AND the adjacent Office/Family Room. These rooms easily become the heart of your home. Counters and elegant wooden cabinets line the kitchen. The deep,double stainless steel sink is directly below a window…so nice to see the yard! And there is a side entrance to the driveway here as well. You can truly flow from one room to the next on the first floor. Upstairs, you will find either three or four bedrooms, depending on how you use the extra room connected to the Primary bedroom—which currently serves as a sitting area with built-in drawers. This smaller room also has staired access to afinished attic that can be turned into a living space, if needed. The Primary bedroom is as spacious as the Living Room with two closets. And the other bedrooms are generous in size, one with built-in drawers and a window seat overlooking the front yard. The hall bath features a tub shower and can be access from the sitting room/fourth bedroom or the hall. The entire home boasts the original hardwood flooring. For storage and extra family space, the basement is perfect for a teen Rec room and a laundry. Only blocks away from Swarthmore’s Library, CO-OP food market, and SEPTA train to Philly, 218 Vassar is centrally located. Students can walk or cycle to the Elementary school. And the town pool is a quick bike ride as well! Blue Ribbon Wallingford-Swarthmore Schools. Do not miss 218 Vassar! Offers will not be presented before March 30.
